About

Entering Transmasculinity is a holistic study of the intersecting and overlapping discourses that shape transgender identities. In the book, Matthew Heinz offers an examination of mediated and experienced transmasculine subjectivities and aims to capture the apparent contradictions that structure transmasculine experience, perception, and identification.
